The "dropship" is our SF25-56 TIT (Tactical Interface Transport) - took
us
ages to come up with that acronym....:). In the UK it retails at 19.95
pounds, and is a LOT of resin (about 1 Kg) - assembled, it is 12" long
and
8" wingspan, and the LIPPC (or the Coonhound) fits nicely into the
hollow
cargo bay.  Geo-Hex don't have this one in production yet, I think
mainly
due to its sheer size - the resin they use is more costly than ours, and
is
not quite so good for very large parts.

Yes.
